[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2140695, member: 506169"] Hi Jiro, What I say is just from my personal experience and from viewing some information from doctors and other researchers who I feel are credible. [B]I have never had gout or any similar pain. I don't recall any of the doctors suggesting IF mentioning an increased incidence of gout in their patients - and combined we must be talking about tens of thousands of patients![/B] I consider myself to be primarily on a LCHF lifestyle but using IF to give me a nudge into Ketosis if my fasting BG seems too high for my liking. So what that looks like in practice is that I aim for between 20gms and 50gms of carbs per day. I only count carbs - not Calories! In a fairly normal week I will have 2 days of IF(not consecutive). But if when I test my BG pre-breakfast it is as high as 7.8 or more, then I will decide to skip breakfast and push back lunch a little so as to have been fasting for >16hrs. Note that I don't drink any milk or cream or Oil in that time , so no 'bulletproof coffee' etc - just straight black, green or peppermint tea. I feel no ill effects from IF, my energy levels are the same as if I had my normal breakfast of 2 hard boiled eggs , salt, pepper with a drizzle of Olive Oil. The only difference is that my stomach doesn't feel as full, but I can deal with that since for my regular Colonoscopies I have to fast for over 36hrs. If your brother experiences symptoms of gout, then he can just avoid doing the IF and see if that helps. IF can't permanently damage the human body - [B]remember that all the major religions have been advocating it for their followers for many centuaries! ( Lent, Ramadan etc. ) [/B] [/QUOTE]
